updates, and a name for kitty

The Good News post has been updated and I'm still replying to all the emails about the school supplies thing - thank you everyone for your offers of assistance. The response has been wonderful and I just hope that I do end up getting the transport donated so I can pull this off.

And now for the moment you've all been waiting for. The naming of the kitty. The winner of the poll was Mathilda. But in a spur of the moment decision - and in a bizarre, unsettling moment in which we ALL (meaning me, the husband and kids) all AGREED on something, the name of the kitty is not any from the poll, but:

Master Shake.

Yes, she's named after this bastard:

I'm sure we'll end up referring to her as "kitty" more than anything, but Master Shake is her formal name, and what went on the forms at the vet tonight.
